Westport needs flood protection scheme, regional council chair says

“There was some support for the programme in 2017, but it was pretty lukewarm, and we like to have a decent majority in favour before we start rating, so it didn t go ahead.” The council had been able to set up a rating district in Westport last year, after getting enough ratepayer support for a new flood-warning telemetry system, which was a relatively minor project, he said. “They might have to revisit that after what s happened, and look at some floodwall type work, although protecting Westport won t be as straightforward as Greymouth, because it’s bordered by two rivers and the sea.”

Westport needs flood protection scheme – regional council chair says

Photo: Supplied/NZ Defence Force The one-in-100-year flood forced 2000 people - half the town - to evacuate and many could be homeless for months, as they wait for houses to be stripped, dried out and repaired. The township was effectively cut off as an island between a 12m flood in the mighty Buller River and raging floodwaters in the usually placid Orowaiti River. Birchfield said the regional council proposed setting up a rating district for Westport four years ago to pay for river protection and other work that would mitigate the flood risk to homes and property.
